We use pet remedy and nutracalm as our first line - we've had some good results, but I think as will all calming nutraceuticals, it really depends on the pet, and that's what I tell clients as I'm dispensing/recommending tbh.

Trying and failing to find info online about Calmex - can you use it longterm or is it a dose when required thing? Thinking about using it in my stressy cat who gets blocked and won't eat his biscuits when they have Zylkene on them. Already have Feliway plugged in.

Scullcap and valerian and Zylkene, both really good and have had positive feedback

Hello,

A couple of nurses from my practice swear by 'Pet Remedy' for their stressy pets. We use it in our kennel too.

I use Feliway with my own cats and swear by it! I can tell when my feliway is about to run because my cats behaviour completely changes. Otherwise we stock zylkene but order in calmex for specific cases.

We use Feliway, Adaptil, Calmex and Zylkene and have had good results with all of them. Sometimes you need to use them in combination so Feliway or Adaptil with either Calmex or with Zylkene. Depends on the circumstances and the problem - obviously Calmex is designed to work within half an hour or so but Zylkene needs to be used continuously over a period before you know if it will help or not - the main aim is to get a window of opportunity, where the animal is less stressed by events, to try and improve or remove the fearful behaviour

I've used Calmex for my own dog with really good results, and we use it quite a bit in the practice, with a few dogs on it for coming in for nail clips etc, obviously fairly extreme cases, but definitely helps.

I kept hearing great things about Calmex but haven't actually used it! Otherwise, as above, we use Zylkene :)
